Doug Mockett 6" Diameter Light Gray Trash Grommet 1"H, - TM1-92

Light Gray Finish and a Clean Countertop Fit

This Doug Mockett TM1-92 trash grommet drops into a 6-inch countertop bore to create a finished waste chute that channels scraps and cuttings directly into a bin below. Its Light Gray finish blends with gray-toned, neutral, and contemporary countertop surfaces where a stark white or black insert would stand out.

Key Features

• Light Gray plastic body coordinates with gray laminate, quartz, and solid-surface countertops.
• 6-inch bore diameter fits a standard 6-inch countertop cutout.
• 6-3/4-inch flange diameter overlaps the bore edge to conceal the cut and hold the liner in place.
• 1-inch height and 1-inch liner depth keep the profile low on thin-deck counters and work surfaces.
• 5-7/8-inch inside diameter allows a generous opening for food scraps, clippings, and dry waste.

Putting the Grommet to Work

A countertop trash grommet turns an otherwise dead cutout into a working part of the prep or work surface. At a kitchen island or prep station, it means sweeping scraps directly from the counter into a waiting bin below without stopping to walk to a trash can. In a woodworking or craft room, it handles fine debris, paper clippings, or small offcuts the same way. The Light Gray version is the right call when the countertop runs in a gray or mid-tone palette, keeping the accessory from reading as an accent detail.

Material and Profile

The body is plastic, which keeps the grommet lightweight and resistant to the moisture, cleaning products, and food contact common on countertop surfaces. The low 1-inch height sits nearly flush once the flange rests on the counter deck, so it does not obstruct hand movement across the surface. The flange diameter of 6-3/4 inches gives enough overlap to cover a clean 6-inch bore without requiring a precise countersink fit at the edge.

Where It Works Best

This grommet suits kitchen islands, prep counters, and craft or hobby work surfaces where a gray countertop finish is already in play. Cabinet shops and installers specifying hardware for a full kitchen build will find the Light Gray a natural match for gray laminate decks. Homeowners retrofitting a prep station or island can drop it into an existing 6-inch hole without additional modification. The bin below is not included and is ordered separately, so the grommet pairs with whichever bin or liner best suits the cabinet below.

Common Questions

A Finished Opening That Disappears Into the Surface

Choose the Light Gray TM1-92 when the countertop calls for a grommet that settles into the surface rather than drawing the eye, and put the prep workflow first.
